new rucks

[Pikache]

Initial Issue Regular and Reserve Force in order of priority:

1. Infantry, artillery, field engineers
2. Armoured Recce
3. Schools

Does this mean Reg and Res combat units will get them at the same time?

I really don‘t know. I would assume that the distribution will be similar to the CADPAT uniform itself from east to west. I don‘t think they‘ve gotten all that detailed with the distribution plan yet.

As per the order of priority, there is no CSS listed. That means Svc Bn‘s will have to do their BFT‘s and field ex‘s with the current ruck? I still would encourage those with the means to purchase their own 64 pattern.
As a matter of philosophy, it‘s a shame that solders still have to purchase their own kit if they want good stuff.
Sie la vie, eh.

That sounds better and more on line with the original info that we got. It‘ll be pretty funny when I get back to work and tell the guys(who bought new rucks)the we‘ll get the new rucks shortly after Afghanistan, heck, maybe even while we‘re there...probably not...
